Ok... Can the one I posted about from IG be added? It is confirmed by her shop and the only thing they are waiting on is a tube.

Went and took pictures of the bronco and now the driver side window doesnā€™t automatically roll up or down. I had stay inside to roll it up properly so the rain didnā€™t fill the truck and crawled out the back door. It looks like Bronco is within the HOT ZONE. Talked to the service guy and asked about a loaner and they said I couldnā€™t get one cause I didnā€™t purchase the extended warranty(which we do that right before the factory warranty runs out) but if the salesman had told us that at purchase I would of took it out then. Cause Iā€™ve never had to have it before to get a loaner as long as it was under warranty I got a loaner. So gonna call Ford Customer Care service Monday morning cause due to me driving an hour back home and my son has a football game out of town. Iā€™m not gonna have time today. So I go outside and see a 2022 Bronco Catus grey on the lot for sell, itā€™s engine had went also and they made them buy the bronco back according to a salesmen that pulled us to the side. I got photos of it too. So frustrated and upset Iā€™ve waited 8 years every since ford was toying with the idea of building the bronco to get my dream vehicle and itā€™s sitting there undriveable with engine failure. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

I talked nicely to service guy and told him Iā€™m on foot and he didnā€™t care. I guess 20 plus years of loyalty and 12 purchases of new vehicles donā€™t mean nothing which I didnā€™t tell him that even thou I wanted too. So I go outside and see a 2022 Bronco Catus grey on the lot for sell, itā€™s engine had went and they made them but the bronco back according to a salesman that pulled us to the side.

Saw this one today, not sure if itā€™s a duplicate or not. But from initial findings it sounds like another blown ā€˜21 2.7

The quote: "When she wouldn't turn over she made some horrible noises."

These symptoms sound like dropped valve

Can't be duplicate cause just happened last night. The other two recent engines happened several days ago - plus the mileage is unique / very high

11,000 miles - Wow !

Can you contact her and ask the engine ser#/label ?
She took the post down. Hopefully it ended up being nothing. I sent her a private message to see what happened.

2 questions:

1. what does the 5 digit number for engine mfg date mean?
2. Is there a comparable 2.3 list? And how does it compare?

1. This explains the engine sticker Post in thread 'FINAL UPDATE: Complete Engine Failure - SAS Big Bend - 3wk Old / 1000mi / 2.7L EcoBoost' https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...wk-old-1000mi-2-7l-ecoboost.26787/post-924343

The 5 digit code... The first 2 numbers = the year. The next three = the day of that year.

2 I am not informed on the 2.3 but I don't know of one off hand

2.3L engines aren't dropping valves so there is not a comparable list.

Looks like the mythical 7,000 miles limit to confirm your engine was good has been broken a few times. It now worries me a bit.

Update: Called Ford customer care service Monday and was dispatched to a lady who was super sweet and cared about my concerns and in trying to help get me a loaner or rental. She put me on hold to call the dealer to talk to the service guy. She hopped back on the line and said she had to leave a message for them to call her back. She said she has worked with this dealership before and assigned me a case number along with her name and ext when I call. She said as soon as they call her back she was gonna to find out how long itā€™s gonna take to get my truck back up and running. So, Tuesday I received a call from the dealership telling me right now they know for sure itā€™s a bad vavle cause one of the spark plugs end had basically blew off and had metal shavings all up in there. Causing the engine failure. . I asked him did he ever call my case worker back and he said no. So I told him he needs to call her I gave him the number and her extension that she is expecting a call from them. Even told him I had the case number if he needs it , he said no Iā€™m sure I can print that out when I call her. That the technician was on the phone with ford to tell them what he has found so far. I asked have you tore into the whole engine yet and only found 1 and he said no we havenā€™t tore all the way in yet thatā€™s what they have so far. I told him tear into the whole engine and drop the oil pan and check for metal shavings in the oil. That I need my Bronco at 100% when I get the call itā€™s fixed not half way fixed and it end up going down on me again cause if I had been on the highway I would of got ran all over with losing power without a warning. So Iā€™m hoping my case worker calls today or tomorrow with a update cause she said she would be advocating for me and make sure it was fixed correctly and how long itā€™s gonna take them to fix it. Cause she said Iā€™m still covered under the bumper to bumper warranty that the dealership should of had me a loaner or rental to drive. I just hope I can get the extended warranty for all the stress and still paying for a truck I canā€™t use. Plus with a new engine the warranty should start over as day 1. So Iā€™m still waiting patiently. It just sucks cause my birthday is the 18th of this month and was gonna take a road trip with the top down and enjoy this nice cool weather we have in the south right now. šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø Maybe next year
